For that much, I would expect it to be 1:1 and not 1:4.

Snookies124055d ago

Seriously... If it's not 1:1, people who buy this have too much money on their hands... -_-

secretcode4055d ago (Edited 4055d ago )

Honestly, that's a bit unrealistic. Sideshow's products at the 1/4 scale are normally in that price range to begin with due to a variety of factors such as materials, the sculptor, the license, etc. and for the most part you pay for what you get as ultimately a 1/4 scale statue of Master Chief is actually pretty damn big at 25.5" H (647.7mm) x 17" W (431.8mm) x 14" L (355.6mm). Not saying that the price isn't too high for what is ultimately a static-posed piece, but it is comparable for everything else Sideshow produces. http://www.sideshowtoy.com/...

Hell, look at Sideshow's upcoming 1/4 scale Hulk. http://www.sideshowtoy.com/...

Well, 4-Infinite dropped the ball massively so don't worry.

Sgt_Slaughter64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

Not really. 4, 5, MCC, and Infinite are only remembered for their shortcomings and failures when the franchise was purely known for being a system seller and an all-time great. There's a reason 1, 2, 3, and Reach are looked back on fondly, and it's not because of nostalgia.

FinalFantasyFanatic64d ago

I don't know of anyone that speaks fondly of the later Halo games, I would like to play 5, but I know it's not good, and I'm just waiting on Infinite to hit my strike price. I played MCC a lot later after it came out, so must of those bugs/issues were gone by the time I played it.

To say it dropped the massively is just not true. Many in the community hold H5 as the best mp mechanics in the entire series and say its what 4 should've been. Its campaign was trash but the MP is Fantastic and many faces of the community still play today and it only made 500mill in the matter of months but sure it dropped the ball massively. 4 was hated due to all the changes at once. And CoD like feature and rightful get hate but it's campaign story was liked by a majority of ppl. 343 hasn't nailed ot 100% but they get 1 thing perfect but F up in other places. Infinite had a good campaign and design but the story was a mess. The MP improves upon what Halo 3 was and is what many ppl wanted to go back to but it lacked content severely. So massively aint the word. Dropping the ball massively is when it's pure trash and unplay/unenjoyable. Most ppl blind by nostalgia so soon as 1 thing aint the same its hated cause Halo set the bar so high
FYI reach was not that good.

Dead IP, time to invent something new.

Maybe they can have ID or one of the COD studios help 343 with this series.

Halo-Pop like Gears Pop. Halo bowling. Halo Cooking Mama. There’s a reason why you won’t hear about them
